Major General Hugh Ewing was engaged In
the practice OF law at the outbreak OF the civil
war. In May, 1861, he was appointed by Gov
ernor Dcnnison Brigade Inspector OF the Third
Brigade, Ohio militia, with the rank Of Major,
and was stationed at Camp Dcnnison until the
2st of June in the same year, when he enlisted
in the three years service and joined McClcl-
lan's army Mt Buckhannon, w. Va He partc.
ipatcd In number of important battles. At
Antictam he commanded u brigade nt the ox-
IRENE left which, according TO General Burn.
sides report, saved that wing from disaster.
General Ewing commanded the Thrtieth,
Thrty.sccond and Forty.scvcnth Ohio and the
Fourth Virginia Infantry before Vickshurg, and
with this brigade led one OF the movements on
the city The colors that were borne in that
memorable charge are furled in the Generals
reception room at his home. They are riddled
with bullet holes and the battered stan bears
many n scar.
In 1886 General Ewing was appointed Minis
ter of The Hague. He is now living in pleasant
retirement Mt Lancaster
General Thomas II. Ewing, the third son OF
Thomas Ewing was born in Lancaster, August
II. 1890. He was literally educated, and is an
alumnus of Brown University and of the Gin.
canau Law School. In 1856 he removed to
Leavenworth. Kan, and commenced the prac.
tice of law. He soon became prominent, and
for two years held the position Of Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court OF the State.
In 1862 he organized the Eleventh Regiment
Of Kansas Infantry, Of which he was appointed
Colonel. At Pilot Knob he was engaged in one
OF the most stubborn, and in proportion to the
number engaged, one OF the most fatal conflicts
of the war. He lost one.fourth of his available
force, and, having TO retreat, kept up running
fight for twenty miles. The campaign OF q
week was remarkable one.
The enemy lost more than fifteen hundred,
while General Ewing's loss was quite small,
The result OF Ewing's brave stand was to put
nm end TO all attempts upon st. Louis by the
Confcderatcs.

General W. II Shcrman's estimate OF Thomas

Sherman says that his personal rccocctions OF
Thomas Ewing date back to q very early period.

Washington TO see the Senator 81 found hin" "
writes General Sherman, "boarding with Mrs,
Hill, who had n son at West Point. The mess
of which Mr.. Ewing was member consisted OF

introduced me as his young ward. Mr.. Southard

General Sherman was In correspondence with
Mr.. Ewing throughout the civil war, Mr.. Ewing

Mr.. Ewing had n little brick offce near his
house, and IL was in that quiet and favorite re-
treat that he mastered the Spanish language in
very short time. He had case in st. Louis
involving several hundred thousand dollars
worth OF land, and most of the old title deeds
were written in Spanish. He saw the import
ance OF an adequate knowledge of the Spanish
and so he shut himself up for six weeks, and at
the end OF that time he was able to go into
court and translate the document with case.
Judge p. b. Ewing, who lives in Lancaster,
nbout block from his fathers old homc
has an old-style mansion that is particularly at
tractve in appearance in these days of cXagger-
ated and conglomerated modern architecture.
Mr.. Jones, the sculptor, who made the bust OF
Ewing, has preserved many pleasant stories
about the old Senator. While Mr.. Ewing was
sitting for the artist he talked freely and told
good deal about his early life and experiences.
Upon one occasion he said: "a party OF young
people, of whom was one, were out horseback
riding one Sunday, and while passing through Il
heavily timbered bit of country we heard n
shrill and sudden Shrek OF pain. The party
halted, and we soon learned that one OF three
boys had been bitten by rattlcsnake, and that
the other two were carrying him home with all
possible speed.
"a young lady friend of mine in the party
very modestly removed one Of her garters, with
which we bound up the boys leg to prevent the
poison from spreading through his system by
directions for treating the wound, such us gun
powder tea and other current specifies, and
then proceeded on our journey We subsequent
ly learned that our little patient completely re-
covered.
About forty years after that horseback ride,
rs / was returning in carriage from Columbus
10 Lancaster, the weather beng very warm
stopped at n farmhouse TO give the horses
water. The farmers wife kindly handed me n
bucket with which to help myself Mt the we'll.
While watering the horses l noticed that she
observed my face closely and when returned
the bucket she said Are you not Mr.. Ewingr
] answered in the affirmative and said 10 her:
Why do you aslIy We'll see you have forgot
ten me- she said. But she continued, you
can not have forgotten the young woman that
gave you the garter to tie up the leg of the boy
that was bitten by the rattlcsnalIe Mr.. Ewing
said he remembered tho Incident well, and
the woman said that she was tho person who
had furnished the garter, and that she had lived
on the farm where he stopped for water most OF
the time since"
